While there are no explicit rules that state whether the action is against the “Omnibus Election Code” or not, it could not be considered premature campaigning since it does not directly state that people should vote for Bobby Eusebio.

The start of the campaign period for local elections is on March 29.

Meanwhile, the Facebook page condemned the test paper and claimed that it was a form of “mind conditioning.”

The Eusebios are public officials from Pasig City who have been in power for decades. Different members of the family have occupied the mayoral seat since 1992.

During the filing of the certificate of candidacy in October 2018, Filipinos—particularly the Pasig constituents—welcomed the willingness of Pasig City Councilor Vicco Sotto to run against one of its family members.
